 1057 Carl Spiering                          44 Mike Castellana

Unbelievable - Spiering's car made a big move out toward the wall and then almost crossed the centerline when he yanked it back and he still held off Castellana for the win. Carl Spiering's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.002), 330 ft(0.032), 660ft(0.017), 1,000ft(0.007). MOV: 0.0061 seconds (approximately 2 feet). Not only that, Spiering has lane choice against Stott in the semifinals.
